For only a 5.1 system setup what would be the best brand and type of speakers are recommended?..   Although im sure i will have to get a new reciever b.c i currently have a JVC RX-D201... as far as wattage and power i will prolly have to get a new one for which ever speakers you all recommend.   This 600 will hopefully will include the sub.. but i just want your opinion... Also if i need to spend a few hundred (max) more for 7.1 if this is what is recommended, as long as the wife does not complain for more speakers sitting around, i can probably do so!!?????????
thanks!

The speaker section will have much more information unless you are willing to build your speakers.  For $700, you could really make some very nice sounding speakers.  This is the Projects section.

If you are going with retail, then stretch the budget as far as  possible and go for 5.1.  In my opinion you can't put together a great system for $600 when that wouldn't even cover a great sub.  What is your MAX budget for speakers and we can work from there to best spend you money.

My advice is to go and listen to as many quality speaker systems as possible.  Not at the Best Buy type stores unless they have a Magnolia HiFi in them.  Find the smaller stores that have the higher-end systems.  Most will let you listen even if you aren't buying.  But to get the most for your money, internet direct is the only way.  At least you will have an idea of what you like.  Most of the ID companies have a generous return policy.
